Here, I want to start a thread on the 4-TEC's and will be adding information as I go along. Last year, there were no members here with issues or questions about the 4-TEC. This only goes to show you how well the design of this engine truly is. It can be an electrical nightmare if you have a short, because it's entirely computerized, but when it's running great, you can't beat it for performance.
Mechanics like me are limited on what we can do for these, since they require the B.U.D.S. to trouble shoot.
I'm going to start this thread with the acronyms that are commonly used in threads and posts and in time, will add posts such as winterizing and maintenance, since the info we have generically in the forum, applies to the 2 stroke engines.
If there is a specific topic you'd like to see covered, feel free to PM me. I will leave this thread locked, since I want to make sure that the info given, is factual from sources like our manuals and other research and not "hear say".
These Acronyms apply to all Seadoo's
ADC......................Analog to Digital Conversion
AC........................Alternate Current
AP........................Air Pressure Sensor
ATS......................Air Temperature Sensor
B.U.D.S..................Bombardier Utility and Diagnostic Software
CDI.......................Capacitor Discharge Ignition
CPS......................Crankshaft Position Indicator
CSI.......................Cooling System Indicator
DC........................Direct Current
DESS.....................Digital Electronic Security System
DI.........................Direct Injected
E.I.N.....................Engine Identification Number
ECM......................Electronic Control Module
ECU......................Electric Control Unit
EMS......................Engine Management System
EPA......................Environmental Protectioin Agency (USA)
HP........................Horse Power
LED.......................Light Emitting Diode
MAG.....................Magneto
MPEM...................Multi-Purpose Electronic Module
MPH.....................Mile Per Hour ( I hope I don't have to explain this one!)
MPI......................Multi Protocol Interface
N.A......................Not Applicable
OPT.....................Optional
P/N......................Part Number
PFD......................Personal Flotation Device
PSI......................Pounds Per Square Inch
PTO.....................Power Take Off
RAVE....................Rotax Adjustable Variable Exhaust
RFI......................Rotax Fuel Injection
RPM.....................Revolutions Per Minute
STD.....................Standard
TBD.....................To Be Determined
TDC.....................Top Dead Center
TPS.....................Throttle Position Sensor
VDC.....................Volts Direct Current
VCK.....................Vehicle Communication Kit
VTS.....................Variable Trim System
WTS....................Water Temperature sensor
There will be more specifics to follow. Thanks for reading the thread!...:cheers:
